Hello, the only thing from stopping me to fully use Manjaro as my primary daily OS is that pirating on linux is inconvenient. When i install pirated games on Linux they must be really lightweight to support, like Undertale or Papers Please, because WINE uses Vulkan graphics and they are fucking terrible on slightly more heavy games like superhot and shit, this entails having bad frame rate like 20 fps (unplayable). To whoever is using Linux and also pirates games on daily basis, do you also have the same problem? Is there any solution you could suggest me? Thank you

It sounds like you're more having a problem with gaming on Linux in general, not anything about how you obtain the games. Maybe ask at !linux_gaming@lemmy.world?

    Funny enough, I once accidentally found a GitTea on the Dark Web (Tor browser, Onion Service) and this gittea had a Piracy Repo for Linux Games and many folders of games with text files of reviews similar to Protondb.com if this Crack worked or not and also added from which crack macker it was.

    Reply to me and I try to find it again.

    I can assure you this is not the case.

    I've tested Cyberpunk 2077 on Ubuntu (not my daily driver) and it works like you're playing on windows. Only downside is that you can't use ray tracing since Nvidia kept that tech proprietary and exclusive to windows for now.

    See, Linux doesn't fully supports nvidia gpu, but still I'm having a great experience.

    Thank you guys for your answers and advices, i've found a solution thanks to the user named Monologue. An effective and simple solution that i've never thought about since concerned about risking a ban (not the case), and it is to simply add in steam the pirated .exe game file through the "add a non-steam game" button. This resolved the issue about implementing Proton into my wine build, which is very risky and complicated, by executing the game directly on steam. Couldn't give a fuck about the downvotes too

    everyone else is right, the downvotes are unfair but your probleme seems to be fairly linux related.

    What are the specs of your machine and how do you launch the games ?

    depending ing on your graphics card, it may not support vulkan

    If you are not already, try to use lutris, that way you will be able to chose which version of whine and dxvk you are using and get a bit more info on what is happening with your system, I frequently run game from gog on it and they run fine
